1 Corinthians 10:28–11:7 § 147
Brethren, if any man says unto you, “this was offered in sacrifice unto idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness…” Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? For if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks? Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Greeks, nor to the Church of God: even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved… Imitate me, even as I also imitate Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the ordinances as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of woman is man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
Colossians 1:12–18 (Image) § 250

Brethren, give thanks unto God the Father who has made us worthy to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, in Whom we have redemption through His Blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were made that are in heaven and that are on earth, [both] visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist… And He is the head of the body, the Church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He may be preeminent…
Matthew 16.24-28
§ 69
Matthew 16.24-28 § 69
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν, ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι.
[Заⷱ҇ 69] Тогда̀ і҆и҃съ речѐ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: а҆́ще кто̀ хо́щетъ по мнѣ̀ и҆тѝ, да ѿве́ржетсѧ себє̀ и҆ во́зметъ кре́стъ сво́й и҆ по мнѣ̀ грѧде́тъ:
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δ᾿ ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ, εὑρήσει αὐτήν.
и҆́же бо а҆́ще хо́щетъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ спастѝ, погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще погꙋби́тъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ менє̀ ра́ди, ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ ю҆̀:
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος ἐὰν τὸν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ, τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ζημιωθῇ; ἢ τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ;
ка́ѧ бо по́льза человѣ́кꙋ, а҆́ще мі́ръ ве́сь приѡбрѧ́щетъ, дꙋ́шꙋ же свою̀ ѡ҆тщети́тъ; и҆лѝ что̀ да́стъ человѣ́къ и҆змѣ́нꙋ за дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀;
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
μέλλει γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεσθαι ἐν τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ, καὶ τότε ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν πρᾶξιν αὐτοῦ.
прїити́ бо и҆́мать сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй во сла́вѣ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ своегѡ̀ со а҆́гг҃лы свои́ми, и҆ тогда̀ возда́стъ комꙋ́ждо по дѣѧ́нїємъ є҆гѡ̀:
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, εἰσί τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστηκότων, οἵτινες οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου ἕως ἂν ἴδωσι τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ.
а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, (ꙗ҆́кѡ) сꙋ́ть нѣ́цыи ѿ здѣ̀ стоѧ́щихъ, и҆̀же не и҆́мꙋтъ вкꙋси́ти сме́рти, до́ндеже ви́дѧтъ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческаго грѧдꙋ́ща во црⷭ҇твїи свое́мъ.

Chapter 9
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐστήριξε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,
[Заⷱ҇] Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ скончава́хꙋсѧ дні́е восхожде́нїю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ то́й ᲂу҆твердѝ лицѐ своѐ и҆тѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ:
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. καὶ πορευθέντες εἰσῆλθον εἰς κώμην Σαμαρειτῶν, ὥστε ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτῷ·
и҆ посла̀ вѣ́стники пред̾ лице́мъ свои́мъ: и҆ и҆зше́дше внидо́ша въ ве́сь самарѧ́нскꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ᲂу҆гото́вѧтъ є҆мꙋ̀:
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
καὶ οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν, ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
и҆ не прїѧ́ша є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ бѣ̀ грѧдꙋ́щее во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης εἶπον· Κύριε, θέλεις εἴπωμεν πῦρ καταβῆναι ἀπὸ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀναλῶσαι αὐτούς, ὡς καὶ Ἠλίας ἐποίησε;
Ви̑дѣвша же ᲂу҆чн҃ка̑ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ, рѣ́ста: гдⷭ҇и, хо́щеши ли, рече́ма, да ѻ҆́гнь сни́детъ съ небесѐ и҆ потреби́тъ и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ и҆лїа̀ сотворѝ;
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
στραφεὶς δὲ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ οἴδατε ποίου πνεύματός ἐστε ὑμεῖς·
Ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ же запретѝ и҆́ма, и҆ речѐ: не вѣ́ста, ко́егѡ дꙋ́ха є҆ста̀ вы̀:
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθε ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων ἀπολέσαι, ἀλλὰ σῶσαι. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ἑτέραν κώμην.
сн҃ъ бо чл҃вѣ́ческїй не прїи́де дꙋ́шъ человѣ́ческихъ погꙋби́ти, но спⷭ҇тѝ. И҆ и҆до́ша во и҆́нꙋ ве́сь.
Chapter 10
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εἶπε· πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπιγινώσκει τίς ἐστιν ὁ υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ, εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν βούληται ὁ υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι.
И҆ ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, речѐ: всѧ̑ мнѣ̀ прє́дана бы́ша ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀: и҆ никто́же вѣ́сть, кто̀ є҆́сть сн҃ъ, то́кмѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ: и҆ кто̀ є҆́сть ѻ҆ц҃ъ, то́кмѡ сн҃ъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще хо́щетъ сн҃ъ ѿкры́ти.
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
Καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς κατ᾿ ἰδίαν εἶπε· μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ βλέποντες ἃ βλέπετε.
[Заⷱ҇ 52] И҆ ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, є҆ди́нъ {ѡ҆со́бь} речѐ: бл҃же́ни ѻ҆́чи ви́дѧщїи, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дите:
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ βασιλεῖς ἠθέλησαν ἰδεῖν ἃ ὑμεῖς βλέπετε, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ ἀκούετε, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.
гл҃ю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́зи прⷪ҇ро́цы и҆ ца́рїе восхотѣ́ша ви́дѣти, ꙗ҆̀же вы̀ ви́дите, и҆ не ви́дѣша: и҆ слы́шати, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шите, и҆ не слы́шаша.
